Dec 29 – Babatunde Oba, 23, trainee manager for hire firm HSS, was stabbed at the Broadway Boulevard Club in Ealing. Kevin Dennis, 23, from Hackney, and his brothers Carl and Dennis were jailed for life in Feb 2000. Stefan Williams and Onyebuchuku Anyado were also jailed for life. Kevin Dennis played for Welling United FC, having previously played for Arsenal and Brentford. Their convictions were later quashed in 2004 and the retrial abandoned after it was decided that an expert witness on CCTV images was not reliable. Kevin Dennis was one of several people (along with Barry George) who were told in 2013 they could not have compensation for wrongful conviction.
